Patent NO-971945-D0 (NO)
Inventor: HAUPTMANN RANDAL
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 1997-04-25
Abstract: A transgenic higher plant, seed containing the transgene, and methods of providing enhanced carotenoid accumulation are disclosed. The transgenic higher plant has a genomic structural gene that encodes a chimeric polypeptide conjugate and over accumulates a colored native carotenoid in a preselected storage organ relative to the accumulation in a non-transgenic plant of the same type. Expression of the chimeric polypeptide is driven by a promoter operatively linked to that structural gene that provides storage organ-enhanced expression. The chimeric polypeptide has an N-terminal plastid transit peptide portion whose C-terminus is linked to the N-terminus of a non-higher plant phytoene synthase enzyme.
Patent NO-973790-D0 (NO)
Inventor: SUN CHONG-SON
IPC: A61K35/16
Filed: 1997-08-18
Abstract: Systems and methods treat plasma carrying contaminants and leukocytes that are capable of entraining contaminants. The systems and methods separate leukocytes from the plasma by filtration, thereby removing contaminants entrained within leukocytes. The systems and methods also add to the plasma a photoactive material and emit radiation at a selected wavelength into the plasma to activate the photoactive material and thereby eradicate the contaminant that is free of entrainment by leukocytes.

Patent GB-0013735-D0 (GB)
Title: Adaptive antenna array and method of controlling operation thereof
IPC: H04B7/06
Filed: 2000-06-07
Abstract: An adaptive antenna array (14) includes a multiplicity of antenna elements (12a-12k, 48a-48k) responsive to uplink communications (16a-16k) and arranged to support directional-orientated downlink communication to subscriber units (18). The adaptive antenna array (14) is operationally responsive to a signal processor (28) that co-operates with direction of arrival estimation logic (36) to assess an angle of arrival of uplink communications incident to the array. To avoid inter-cell interference, especially during early stages of a call, the signal processor operates to ensure that a wide area downlink beam (108) is provided for a downlink path to an addressed subscriber unit. With time and/or with reported (68, 84) downlink quality of service (QoS) metrics, the signal processor (28) regulates (74, 92, 96) a width of the downlink beam by altering the number of antenna elements used to support the downlink beam, thereby altering the downlink beam aperture. Generally, with time, more antenna elements (92) are used and so the beam is narrowed, although in-call fluctuations in downlink quality of service are dynamically addressed by the signal processor (28) by either narrowing or broadening the width of the downlink beam by respectively switching antenna elements (12a-12k, 48a-48k) into (92) or out (96) of the adaptive antenna array (14), as shown in FIGs. 3a and 3b.

Patent GB-0603753-D0 (GB)
Title: Energy-efficient network protocol and node device for sensor networks
IPC: H04W40/10
Filed: 2006-02-24
Abstract: An “on-demand” approach for a routing protocol for a wireless network that achieves balanced energy consumption among all participating nodes in the network. Synchronization messages transmitted by nodes associated with an upstream node include local node information (LNI) that a node can use to repair or bypass a lost upstream node in a real or virtual (temporary) manner depending upon the local node's battery level. Only if a repair process fails will a global re-organization (Re-Org) be initiated. The LNI also allows for nodes having lower power availability (battery level) not to transmit the LNI so that unaffiliated node(s) can select an upstream node having more power availability thereby extending network life.

Title: Establishment of laminar boundary layer flow on aerofoil body
Filed: 2006-12-21
Abstract: In order to establish laminar flow on the attachment line (18) of an aerofoil body, a duct entrance (27) is provided on the leading edge of the aerofoil body for receiving spanwise boundary layer flow BLt. The exit (23) of the duct is located spanwise downstream of the duct entrance (27). The boundary layer flow BLt enters the duct (23) and is discharged downstream. The height of the duct entrance (27) above the leading edge of the aerofoil body is greater than the depth of the boundary layer BLt and thus a fresh laminar boundary layer is established on the outer surface (20) of the duct which propagates spanwise along the surface to rejoin the leading edge of the aerofoil body.
Patent GB-0803159-D0 (GB)
Title: A process for manufacturing a range of silicon carbide products for kin furniture, engineering and personal body armour applications
Filed: 2008-02-21
Abstract: A process is disclosed for the manufacture of silicon carbide products with a complex nitrogen containing bonding system, including the forming and firing techniques for the shapes. The process comprises blending a mixture of silicon carbide, silicon, alumina and iron oxide and firing the mixture in a nitrogen rich atmosphere to form a bonding phase of   b  -sialon,   a  -silicon nitride and   b  -silicon nitride. The proportion of silicon nitride may be reduced by the addition of yttrium oxide (yttria) to the mixture prior to firing. The raw materials used are of high purity, which are then shaped either by a pressure casting technique or a slip casting technique. The raw materials are mixed to form a slip, which is then either pumped into porous pressure casting moulds or poured into a plaster mould to remove the water forming the desired shape. The resultant shapes are dried and then fired in a nitrogen atmosphere, either using a carefully controlled firing cycle and gas flow system or, where necessary, by using an inert gas to control the rate of reaction, to develop the bonding system by means of one or more separate firing cycles and subsequently may be fired for a second time in air to increase the oxidation resistance. The material formed may be used in wear resistant applications and as body armour.

Title: Control apparatus for electric bed heating arrangements
IPC: H05B3/34
Filed: 1987-12-07
Abstract: A control apparatus for an electric bed heating arrangement (24) includes a 24 hour timer circuit (36) which, after the apparatus has been energised from an electrical supply: (i) disables energisation of the bed heating arrangement (24) until a manual operation of setting the timer circuit (operation of a reset/override switch) has been performed; and (ii) responds to the manual setting operation to commence a 24 hour cycle according to which energisation of the bed heating arrangement is enabled each day, at a time determined by the time of day at which the manual setting operation was performed, and continues thereafter to be enabled for a predetermined part only (e.g. 12 hours) of the 24 hour cycle. When, for example after first purchase or at the end of the warm season, use of the bed heating arrangement is to be commenced, the user need only connect the control apparatus to an electrical supply and then perform the manual setting operation at an appropriate time of day. Thereafter, provided the apparatus is left connected to the supply, heating of the bed will be enabled each day at the same time as that determined by the time at which the setting operation was performed and will be disabled each day at the same time, namely at the end of the predetermined part of the 24 hour cycle.
